The CEO of restaurant chain P.F. Chang's says early morning runs help him stay sharp at work and build mental discipline. "You'll feel better the whole day," he told the magazine."You'll be smarter, you'll be sharper, you'll be more energetic." "I like the routine precisely because it's hard," Adamolekun told."It builds a level of discipline and a level of deal-with-it-ness. Like, 'Here's a problem, deal with it.
Then he commutes into the corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona — often arriving by 7:30 a.m. — and won't schedule meetings before 8 a.m. Adamolekun is much younger than the average chief executive at a restaurant chain — especially one like P.F. Chang's, which has about 300 locations globally. In addition to his CEO role, he's also a partner at the hedge fund Paulson & Co., which partnered with TriArtisan Capital Advisors to acquire P.F. Chang's in 2019.
Adamolekun told MarketWatch his youth may help him connect with younger consumers. But he said his willingness to listen to them is more important. "There's something about empathy and listening to people and relating to them, even if it's not your own experience, that I think is helpful in life generally, and certainly in business," he told Marketwatch."Because you can't speak for all the consumers. There's a lot of consumers that I won't personally relate to, but their opinions are just as valid as a consumer that I do relate to.
